Endurance Reports Additional High-Grade from Expanding Crown Zone 8.01 gpt Gold over 10.5 Metres
MWN-AI** Summary
Endurance Gold Corporation has released assay results for three new drill holes from the Crown Zone of its Reliance Gold Project in British Columbia. All three holes intersected significant gold mineralization along the Royal Shear contact, with drill hole DDH25-116 standing out by returning 8.01 grams per tonne (gpt) gold over 10.5 metres. This includes a higher-grade segment showing 15.12 gpt gold over 2.9 metres. Notably, this drill hole represents a 36-metre step-out from the previous Lower Crown discovery hole, DDH24-103, which had yielded 7.61 gpt gold over 5.7 metres.
Further results from drill hole DDH25-115 showed 5.46 gpt gold over 2.4 metres, highlighted by 8.08 gpt gold over a narrower interval of 1.1 metres. This hole also intersected a mineralized ultramafic rock unit, which returned 6.60 gpt gold over 2.4 metres. Drill hole DDH25-114 intersected the Royal Shear contact and returned a gold assay of 1.17 gpt over 4.5 metres, including a notable antimony-rich vein.
The results suggest the Crown Zone's potential for a broader, shallow plunging portion of the Royal Shear mineralized trend, which could expand between the Imperial and Lower Crown areas. Encouraged by these findings, Endurance Gold plans further drilling in the undrilled gap that lies between the two zones, having already completed 16 drill holes this year and collecting over 1,500 soil samples. Additionally, ongoing activities include mineral resource modeling and metallurgical testing, indicating a comprehensive exploration effort at the Reliance Gold Project.
MWN-AI** Analysis
Endurance Gold Corporation recently reported promising assay results from its drilling at the Reliance Gold Project, particularly in the Crown Zone, where significant gold mineralization has been confirmed. The highlight from this announcement is drill hole DDH25-116, which returned an impressive 8.01 grams per tonne (gpt) of gold over a core length of 10.5 meters, including a remarkable 15.12 gpt over a narrower interval. This indicates a strong potential for gold resources in the area.
This latest data suggests that the Crown Zone is expanding, with other drill holes also showing considerable mineralization. For instance, DDH25-115 intersected a significant ultramafic rock unit that returned 6.60 gpt gold over 2.4 meters, highlighting the potential complexity and richness of the mineral structure at the site. With ten of fifteen holes yielding strong mineralization, there is substantial evidence that the Crown Gap between the Imperial and Lower Crown zones is a vital area worth further exploration.
Investors should closely monitor the ongoing drilling program and assay results, as additional findings could further bolster confidence in the project's viability. Furthermore, the continuous exploration and the prospect of expanding gold and antimony mineralization enhance the value proposition for Endurance Gold’s shares.
From a trading perspective, potential investors might consider taking a position in EDG as the company appears to be on the path to proving out a commercially viable project. Given the current positive sentiment in gold markets due to macroeconomic uncertainties, this is an opportune time for investment. It is advisable, however, to remain cognizant of market fluctuations and the risks inherent in exploratory mining ventures.
**MWN-AI Summary and Analysis is based on asking OpenAI to summarize and analyze this news release.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2025) - Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV: EDG) (OTCQB: ENDGF) (FSE: 3EG) (the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results for three (3) additional drill holes from the Crown Zone at its Reliance Gold Project. All three (3) drill holes intersected strong gold mineralization hosted in the Royal Shear contact, and one of the holes intersected a new mineralized footwall zone hosted within ultramafic rocks. The highlight drill hole DDH25-116 returned 8.01 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold over 10.5 metres ("m"). Highlights include:
- The Crown Zone continues to grow with further encouraging results from the previously undrilled gap located between the Imperial and Eagle Zones. The three (3) drill holes reported have intersected gold mineralization and associated strong ankerite alteration along the Royal Shear host structure located primarily at the contact between sedimentary and mafic volcanics.
- Drill hole DDH25-116 returned 8.01 gpt gold over 10.5 m, including 15.12 gpt gold over 2.9 m from the Royal Shear contact. The hole is a 36-m step-out along strike to the northwest of the Lower Crown discovery hole DDH24-103 (7.61 gpt gold over 5.7 m).
- Drill hole DDH25-115 returned 5.46 gpt gold over 2.4 m, including 8.08 gpt gold over 1.1 m intersecting the mineralized Royal Shear contact 50 m down-dip of hole DDH24-103. The hole was extended to a 500 m depth to test for potential deeper, subparallel structures similar to the Lower Imperial structure intersected in DDH24-106 (4.47 gpt gold over 15.3 m, including 7.18 gpt gold over 8.3 m).
- Hole DDH25-115 successfully intersected a mineralized ultramafic rock unit in contact with a footwall chert sequence at a downhole depth of 418.7 m. The mineralized ultramafic returned 6.60 gpt gold over 2.4 m, including 9.38 gpt gold over 1.6 m.
- Drill hole DDH25-114 was designed to further test the undrilled gap between Lower Crown and Imperial. The hole intersected the Royal Shear contact 100 m from Lower Crown hole DDH24-103 and 50 m from Imperial hole DDH23-065 (8.98 gpt gold over 9.3 m).
- Hole DDH25-114 returned 1.17 gpt gold over 4.5 m, including an antimony-rich vein that returned 3.47 gpt gold and 4.4% antimony over 0.5 m. Management is encouraged by this initial drill hole and will design further holes to test this 150 m undrilled gap.
"Testing of the Crown Gap is demonstrating potential for a wider shallow plunging portion of Royal Shear mineralized trend that is continuous between Imperial and the Lower Crown target areas and open to expansion along the plunge trend and at depth," stated Robert T. Boyd, President & CEO of Endurance Gold Corporation. "In this area we have also intersected a significant antimony enriched portion of the Royal Shear with several higher grade antimony intersections including previously reported DDH25-113 that returned the best grade over width for antimony to date at Reliance."
Ten (10) of Fifteen (15) drill holes from the "Crown Gap" completed to date have returned significant gold and antimony mineralization. In addition to hosting mineralization along the Royal Shear structure, Crown Zone holes have consistently intersected narrow (sub-metre) high-grade quartz-carbonate veins that have occasionally exhibited visible gold (such as in DDH23-078, DDH24-093 and DDH24-103).
The 2025 diamond drilling program has sixteen (16) holes completed to date for a total of 5,750 m drilled. Assay results are pending for seven (7) completed holes with an eighth hole being abandoned before reaching target depth. Additional drill testing of the Crown Gap is in progress. The drilling rig is currently testing near-surface targets up-dip of the Lower Crown discovery hole DDH24-103 (7.61 gpt gold over 5.7 m).
All drill assay results are reported as core length intervals. True composite widths are estimated at 90% to 100% of core length. Highlighted intervals are reported in Table 1 below and 2025 completed drill holes are shown on the plan map in Figure 1 and the Royal Shear inclined longitudinal section in Figure 2.
In other ongoing activities, mineral resource modeling is in progress and metallurgical testwork is in progress at the Blue Coast Research laboratory. Prospecting, geological mapping and soil sampling have continued through September on the eastern Olympic structures, and the southeast extension of the Royal Shear Trend. Over 1,500 soil samples and 150 rock samples have been collected to date.
Endurance Gold Corporation is a company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of highly prospective North American mineral properties.
